I try to use the script of Varazir to modify my install ESXi 3.5. As recommanded (on Windows), I installed VMware Player and Unbutu 10.04 to do that. ESXi 3.5 .iso file and the script mkesxiaio_3.9.9.sh are in a folder. I made the script executable and launched it. First step passed, I choose [1] ISO installation to burn a CD at the end, but I obtain immediatly an error :"No OEM file.. exiting". I don't really understand what happens.

For information, my main goal is to add a NIC PCI card Realtek 8139 driver (10ec:8139) because the embedded NIC of the computer seems not to be supported (Broadcom 14e4:1691)

Thanks for help or any alternative idea Ph.

Re: No OEM file... on bash script

'Morning,

About this error, I uncompressed oem.gz file in a folder to extract oem.txt and placed it on the root of the bash folder, then the following step is reached. I don't really know if it's the good solution... But now? What I have to do with my communityxxxx.oem.gz file? (I try first the easier way). I'm not sure it is integrated in the script process. Should I let it on the root folder too? Or in the "custom-esx" folder? Soz for basic questions it seems I'm the only one for whom it's a mystery... Ph.

Re: No OEM file... on bash script

Hi again,

I guess the oem.tgz file must be at the root of folder because I saw while the script:

Code:

Untar oem.txt to /home/vmplanet/Documents/ESXi/esx-oemgzip: stdin: not in gzip formattar: Child returned status 1tar: Exiting with failure status due to previous errors

If I understand, the script is looking for a tar file which contains "oem" into. It find oem.txt and try to extract... the problem is I have the file community.oem.gz also, and it don't fint it (and if I remove oem.txt, I obtain the previous error, No OEM file).
